Another random kids pointless VR6 thread

[Ben J]

Alright may as well introduce myself, Im Ben, 17, p-plater, and for the time being living in toowoomba.

Made a little trip down to sydney with the objective of finding/buying and driving back a car. Had a look at a few mk3s and picked up a 94 vr6, only about 90k's on the clock, interior and exterior seemed pretty good and really does go hard.

The thing's pretty much completely stock, "blue", and is sitting at 4wd hight.

Had been planning on buying a black one, but dom took a deposit a week before i left, a black colour cencept which i was also quite interested in managed to "lose his phone" so couldn't contact him and another one a forum member had an eoi out on decided they were no longer interested in selling... but we weren't leaving with nothing, saw this one and was quite impressed. Did have big plans for a black one, wheels lights everything all chosen, but its back to the drawing board now

We drove the car to the mcdonalds literally next door to the dealership to organise insurance, when we tried to start it again it was struggling to turnover, then when it finally did the thing stalled, alarm kept going off too as the battery was so low. Turned out the battery was well and truly ****ed, and it had no petrol. Good combination right But anyway the dealer gave us a brand new battery and half a tank of fuel so it was all pretty good really

Anyway i could go on about it for ever, but i think thats enough rambling.

Oh and since no new "build" thread is complete with out them, some horrible phone pics taken on the driveway from horrible angles:
(Things horribly dirty from the like 1100km trip back up, will wash it tomorow)





gotta get it registered in qld now, but that shouldnt be too hard. Then since i really have no money the ghetto mods shall commence >=]

congratulations. Looks like a nice clean car
Looks like the same colour as my VR6. Dont anyone let you tell you its purple. ITS BLUE!

[Ben J]

Yea im trying to convince myself that its blue, looked blue when i first saw it, but a few hours after buying it I saw it sitting in the sun and went oh **** its purple...

Definately does have a purple tint in some lights :/ spose ill just keep it in the shade... all the time

Rock the purple hard bro, colourcode it and polish the crap out of it and stick some hectic wide 16s on there with a nice drop. END OF STORY! hahaha

Colour code the rest to match the black? >=]

But yea that would look sweet. Wheels will have to be next year when i move into a real job and make some real money, but might give them a coat of paint or something, atleast get rid of the scratches. Realllly do need a cheap way to get low for the time being though, i could probably set up a bed and fall asleep in the space between the wheels and the guards... but after buying this thing i can barely afford a tank of fuel let alone coilovers

Maybe ill go commodore style and go:
Chevy badge
Cut the springs
Cut the exhaust
Steal the sickest pair of 22inch advanti rims i can find

but to make it really stupid, you need to put the chevy badge on and accompany it with a southern cross sticker on the back window!!

How does that make sense to comon-whore drivers? clearly the ironty is lost on them.

Did a somewhat dodgy paintshop job (well not even paintshop)
->
Do want.

Looking into ways to get low for cheap, wondering whats the catch with these Horribly cheap ebay "coilovers"? I know you get what you pay for... but for only like 150 if these would work without damaging other things in the car, then maybe something like that could work for a while until i can afford some real suspension?

EDIT: another thing i was wondering about... The cruise control doesn't seem to work, not that it bothers me, I've never used it and around town i cant see much point, but if it was an easy fix it wouldnt hurt to do.
